“Art is not always behind the walls of a building or behind a screen on a television. Art is in the mountains, in the air, and the changing leaves. Art is in the feathers of birds, the painted wings of butterflies, the scales of snakes. Art is each petal in each flower, the richness of the color and the design of the veins. I work with nature to learn from her- What does it take to breathe life into art?”

Hannah Lugent is a Richmond based artist who explores beautiful things. Working with dried organic materials like flowers, leaves, roots, and other plants, she collaborates with nature to capture life in art.
